How Amazing is Windows 8?
-
Is this some kind of hipster "stream of consciousness" thing or is English not your native language? BTW - Its common knowledge that Microsoft (and Apple and Google) are already working on the "next" OS when they release any given OS. As for Windows 9 simply being a way to get money... there is some evidence that Microsoft may make it a free upgrade from Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Given that Apple has moved to free upgrades on OS X it's not without precedent.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
There was evidence that windows 8 would be free to windows 7 users but it was not. I am not denying the existence of the next OS, I am denying the existence of Windows 9. There was no Windows 6, it was called vista and the Next Version may very well simply be OneCore, but it is also likely to be Windows 8.2, but not windows 9. I learned to program in C before I mastered English.

Well, XP lasted for quite some time, so Windows 9 might too I guess :) Anyway, not sure when but I'm guessing the release of Windows 9 is going to happen.
There was no Windows 6. There is more evidence that the next version will be called Windows OneCore or Windows 8.2 then there is it being called Windows 9.

who cares?
Anyone that has built a company developing windows 8 apps and signed a contract with Microsoft for them to continue the platform cares and would probably sue Microsoft for breaking that contract by releasing windows 9.

Dave KreskowiakWindows Vista had 20% of the Windows OS market share up until Windows 8, is the basis for windows 8 and is the basis for the future of Microsoft, Vista is still making Microsoft Money.

Which is I am correct will go to show how full of sh*t the average programmer is.And when you're wrong? What does that say about YOU?

Dave KreskowiakWell actually I am doubting that the next operating system will be windows 9 as well, it will probably have a name like vista or XP, if its not windows 8.2 so I guess I am already decided that was wrong.

No matter how many times you spout the same crap, doesn't affect the fact you are talking crap. Repeated outbursts don't affect reality, no matter how far your fingers are stuffed in your ears.
That is what I am trying to say about people going on about Windows 9, thank you for your help.

Not the point. The point was Microsoft DID get Windows 7 out as fast as possible to get rid of Vista because everyone (except you probably) hated it, leaving all those copies of Vista on the shelf to be wasted. It's happened before and it will happen again. Oh, that's right, it already did and it's called Windows 8. Everyone HATED it and the rush was on to get 8.1 out the door.

Now you're just splitting hairs as to what it's name is going to be. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT! But, everyone considers it to be Windows version 9, just possibly with a name other than "9". This is the distinction that's making you look like a fool.

No, it's not. All he did was ask you a question. He didn't call you names or put you down in any way. Except maybe it was a "question" pointing to the fact that your exuberance for everything Windows is "over the top".

That's not entirely true. First, those parties who "signed a contract" didn't, and even if they did they would have to show that their business was harmed by the release of the next generation of Windows. Considering MS goes through great lengths to maintain backward compatibility, that's very unlikely.
